the ac turns on

the ac turns on
and off, thermostat set at
eighty-two, running

water is steps away, we brew
a pot of fare trade coffee

(as if we were making
a difference)

the heat wave rolling

the heat wave rolling
into town knocks out our ACs,
the hummingbird still

visits, doing aerial
acrobatics, not sweating

three mosquito bites

three mosquito bites
into a summer’s night, i’m
cranking up the air

conditioning to hide beneath
the comforter – i can’t breathe

they don’t air condition

they don’t air condition
dreams like they used to.
stepping through sleep
offers little, if any,

and ataraxia

at the mall, cool air

at the mall, cool air
hits us like a
breeze on the
beach, and the
mechanical waves
from twin escalators
welcome us to
take a ride. it’s
summer, and
we are here to
hold hands
